Indonesian USIS Man's Visit Is Result of Brass Choir Trip
KU's brass choir visited Djakarta, Indonesia, last spring and inspired a member of the United States Information Service (USIS) to choose KU as one of his stopping places in a United States tour this fall.
Soejanto Kamarwan, chief of the motion picture section of the USIS in Indonesia, visited KU last week as part of a mission to learn more about the US.
Kamarwan will return to Indonesia and interpret the United States to his people on a first hand basis.
DURING HIS VISIT HERE Kamarwan saw Dr. Keneth Bloomquist, director of the Kansas Brass Choir, and the university radio and TV stations.
He also attended performances by the University String Quartet and the University Symphony Orchestra.
"Indonesia has been related to the United States since 1946," he said. He described the political situation between the two as being like an elevator, "sometimes going up and sometimes going down."
Kamarwan said the philosophy of Indonesia is called "pantje sile" meaning five principles. These are humanism, nationalism, democracy, social justice, and a belief in God.
"ALL REVOLUTION HAS been inspired by your great leaders like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln," he said. "One time an American paper called our president the George Washington of Asia because he fought for independence also."
Indonesia is only nineteen years old. "There is always difficulty in new born countries," Kamarwan said.

"Like a baby they sometimes want to crawl and stand up before they are ready," he said. "We believe soon we will have a very stable government."

Since Kamarwan's job is to interpret the US to his countrymen, the films shown and prepared by his division pertain to the US.
FILM PROGRAMS are provided for students, labor groups, military units, and farmers. Some of them include documentary films produced in Washington, D.C.
Nearly 1,000 films are now available including a 90-minute John Kennedy biography, agriculture in the United States, and one on the Tennessee Valley Authority.
"Our students have been influenced by Western college students' attitudes," Kamarwan said. "At present we are trying to hold the influence on education and daily life and to concentrate on our national dignity."
HE SAID MANY things here are amazing to him. He mentioned how tree children here are toward their parents.
"Peace can be achieved through world understanding." he said. "You people here are working to accomplish this by the way you teach your students so much about the world."
Kamarwan was educated at the Academy of Journalism at Djakarta. He is past executive director of the Indonesian Tourist Council of West Java, Indonesia, Bandung.

Watching men's and women's residence halls during the "graveyard" shift are KU's seven residence hall policemen.
Night Watchmen Oversee Dorms
From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. these officers watch over the residents. They check for illegal parking in the residence hall lots, illegal visitors in the hall, and possible fires.
THESE MEN ARE employed by the dormitory office, but are officers of the KU police force.
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said most of the officers were retired police officers. There are some former deputy sheriffs and one retired Marine on the force.
In the women's residence halls, policemen enforce the closing regulations. In cooperation with the residence director, the dormitory officer locks the door at the proper hour.
LATE PERMISSION is the only thing that will allow a woman resident to get in past closing hours.
Many residents wonder how they got a ticket for parking in the driveway of a residence hall for "just 10 or 20 or 30 minutes."
